| Quote The Ghost of '99="The Ghost of '99"The big Lib Dem policies which were enacted were the first £10k everyone earns being tax free (this was number 1 in the 2010 manifesto), the pupil premium (number 2), the reinstatement of the pension link with earnings and the free school meals policy which was later reversed by the Tories once they were in power alone.'"
From a Lib Dem perspective they may be big, in fairness. It’s not exactly my perspective, so I’m left wondering why they didn’t hold out for a referendum on proportional representation or at least some decent cabinet jobs. Tbh, I’d have to look up the pupil premium. They certainly found a way to make sure they didn’t get any due or undue credit.
The two takeaways from the coalition for me were austerity for the many and the Lib Dems shooting themselves in the face. The electoral consequences, I am relying on hindsight. However, even back then, I thought comedy pop artist who reached number 5 in the charts with his song about Boris Johnson last Christmas, summarised Clegg’s negotiation position pretty accurately (I can’t be more precise than that without melting the swear filter).

| It is clear that Boris and the government are gambling with the health of the nation. He hopes that the vaccination works against the new variant because he does not want to be seen to be wrong again. I suppose dumb dumb and dumber will be partying like it’s 1979.
He had better be right or things could deteriorate quite rapidly.

You seem pretty clear on this Blink, are you a doctor now to go with your many other attributes or are you banking on the knowledge of the medical staff now dealing with this new variant? who I'm sure the man in question will also be relying on they're advice, don't you think that all this business has been a gamble, he's a politician not a doctor and unlike you what's clued up about everything in this world he relies on the judgment of the so called experts, unfortunately he can't rely on the expertise of army of experts in the labour party even though you do by clinging on to they're every word.

You're right Chizzywizzy, he does rely on the "judgment of the so called experts".
However, time and time again he has chosen to ignore them.
Not going into lockdown (twice) when ADVISED to do so by those very experts you quote has cost many people their lives.
But, you keep on trusting his judgement over theirs. Why ?

How old are you squire
I don't have the answer as to why he didn't go into lockdown twice when ADVISED to and haven't said I do, but I would imagine he won't have gone against their advice lightly or just to wind you up, there will have been a reason or reasons why if indeed he did go against they're wishes in doing so if that were the case, I have never said I trust his judgement ever and you cannot show me where I have all I have ever done is accept it on the basis I have little choice and refuse to get upset and work myself into a frenzy like you and your bezzie mates, your simply using your customary defensive tactics when once again you've jumped in with both feet making a fool of yourself by copying and pasting anti government propaganda, btw if your so desperate for attention, try to come up with something better than chizzywizzy

Sorry Chizzywizzy, I thought that silly childish names were your thing, you seem to perpetuate their use on multiple occasions.
You also stated that Bojo was following advice and I merely wanted to point out that he does not follow the advice all of the time, especially if there is a party going on down at No 10.
My dislike for Bojo is very well documented on here, to the point of annoyance (for some) and yet, despite saying that you dont like him and that you're not a Tory Boy, you dont half jump to his defence quickly.
Your choice Chizzy but, it does seem somewhat contradictory.

Wrong again squire I never said Boris was following advice but what I did say was if he was there was probably a good reason/reasons as to why not if that helps you understand which is totally different to your accusations, but once again don't let that stand in the way of your half truths and innuendos, and as for the party at No 10, none out of 10 for your feeble attempt at sarcasm seriously your not bright enough squire.
Not sure why you persist in calling him Bojo when his name is Boris, after all your the one accusing me of childish name calling, I call you and your 2 bezzie mate Wink, Blink, and Nod because you remind me of with your comedian like behaviour on here if that helps, and for what it's worth once again I feel the need to defend myself against your foundless accusations by pointing out that I've never said I don't like him, but like all politicians I don't always agree with them, big difference there, even you with your massively inflated bias should realise that.
Just for clarity though I'll explain finally (I hope) I'm not anybody's boy and as for jumping to his defence, it's called redressing the balance, nothing to do with being contradictory which is my choice anyway.
Your so out of your depth here squire, having said that you'd be out of your depth in a car park puddle if some of your posts are anything to go by

| His name is Alexander if you want to call him by his second name that is actually Boris de Pfeffel which is what he talks most of the time. I look forward to you pointing out a post from you defending Labour or any other party. I know you are just a frustrated Tory living in Barnsley.

If I was a Boris lover which for some reason you think I am, surely you with the little intelligence you appear to possess you would think I would know his name without you proudly trying to educate me on the matter, as a matter of interest the Pfeffel attempt as a joke did make me smile a little, even though it's not really one of your things, I'm afraid you'll have a long wait though if your looking forward to me defending any political party whatever colour, more chance of me voting you the poster of the year on the Wakey board.
Not sure how you know I'm a frustrated Tory living in Barnsley though, and on reflection I'm not sure if I really want to know or care If I'm honest, the difference living in Barnsley though instead of the City of my birth is the ruling council don't have 5 towns to keep happy as well as they're own people who are predominantly labour supporters whom I personally don't have a problem with, it just appears that you seem to think I do.

Comedy gold squire, comedy gold.
You suggest that I'm childish for calling you Chizzywizzy but, seem to want comedic credit for making up your own ridiculous names for certain other posters ??
You suggest that when you defend Bojo - a name made popular in the press - you are "offering balance ??
And I'm out of my depth, again bloody hilarious.
We have an absolute clown of a PM who just makes blunder upon blunder and while ever he is in office, I will keep on reminding folk of some of his indiscretions.
I couldn't give a tinkers toss whether you agree with me and I welcome your input, although it usually lacks any substance.
As for being out of my depth, more comedy gold from the sin bins self proclaimed comedian. I think it was Bernard Manning that coined the phrase "they cant stop you laughing" but, you are giving him a run for his money.
Nice one squire !
